An interesting new Giclee line for Andy Weber


World renown internationally, as one of the worlds leading artists in Buddhist iconography, Andy is returning to Buddhist routes.
By printing his images on canvas by Giclee printing it is giving the work a robustness to roll up. Why the need to roll? Andy's most recent idea is to recreate traditional Buddhist Tangkhas which are sewn into a brocade specially made by local craftsman in Kathmandu, Nepal.The completed pieces including a wooden scroll, and saffron protective curtain is a contemporary rendition of traditional Buddhist Tangkhas. The whole Tangkha rolls around the scroll for ease of transportation so important to nomadic Buddhists.
We at Abacus are happy to welcome and help expand the many opportunities Giclee printing offers.
Andy Weber’s Tangkhas are an unusual departure from the norm, especially as they are returning funds to craftsmen in Kathmandu. These ten new contemporary Tangkhas will offer ten different Giclee prints of Andy's paintings and are available to be seen on his web site www.andyweberstudios.com and will be available online or from the many buddhist events he attends.
These Tangkhas are quite beautiful, and really must be seen to be fully appreciated.
